High Bar or Low Bar?
Are alternating high bar and front squats 3x5 every workout enough?
Fitness goals: Gain strength (Don't really want to be a fat powerlifter.)
>>35958704
Just do high bar.
>>35958704
Do you want a strong squat which uses lots of muscles, or a squat which has a better transition to oly lifts and sports performance? If those things don't matter to you, then do the one that you like the most.
And are HBS and FS enough? For what? For lower body? No. You need some pulling work, especially because you do HBS and FS. Your posterior chain will get left behind. Add deadlifts / RDL / GHR and shit like that.

I think Luimarco could be natural. He's not too big but pretty lean still. What do you think?
Are there any other non-juicers on Youtube?

Nope, quads are suspicious as well

Hi people.
Italian Fatty here. 27, 178cm x 107 kg. (5"10 x 235lb). this autumn i was 112kg.

Also broke up with my (now ex) gf after 8 years because couldn't stand that shit anymore. My gf was skinny, not landwhale. I'm smart and funny so always had girls way out of my league phisycally speaking.
Started february 1st with diet (just couting calories, no professional help) and doing some workouts and cardio i found over the internet.

You won't make it because you lack motivation. You will never achieve your goal because you're too much of a bitch. Gl loser

>how can i make my hips smaller/look smaller
You can't. Get over it.
>wide hip bro confirming, we've got bad genetics bro, we will never be shirtless models

Getting a big chest/back/lats to compensate is all you can do.

Can you guys critique my deadlift form? My lower back is screaming at me after I do sets, and I get stuck at a pitiful weight. I think I'm using too much back and not enough hamstring activation. On reps 4 and 5 I look like one of those drinking birds.
A couple of notes:
- I did 5x5 with a reduced load here (volume day), this is the fifth set. Weight was 108 kg.
- My gym doesn't have Olympic style bars and plates so I had to stack some plates to get more or less to standard height (it's actually slightly above).
- Yes I know I'm dyel even...

Make sure your arm with the hand facing outwards in mixed grip is completely straight all through the pull. It looks like it's a little flexed at the beginning of the pull -> that results in a torn bicep at heavier weights.
The main issue is that there's a LOT of slack in your body (arms, back angle, legs) when you actually start the pull. When you start the lift, that slack works itself out which is why your back angle changes at the beginning of the pull. Considering that this deadlift is above standard height, it's probably worse when it's at...

Anyone else just hate idiotic "manly" culture built around strength training. Every time you look for something related to lifting heavy things up and putting them down, you inevitably stumble upon

The fitness culture is really cancerous in general. There is a huge emphasis on HOW MUCH weight you can lift, and not HOW you're lifting it. So you have people struggling to hit however many plates they think will make them adequate and half repping, kipping, not controlling the weight, rushing to fnish their reps, etc. That's why so many threads on /fit/ are from people with high bodyfat or shit bodies who'll try to pretend they "don't lift for aesthetics" so they can anonimously post...

This so much guys omg, you're literally giving me a boner.
Fuck this bullshit culture
>>35957066
The culture surrounding lifting, /fit/ in particular, is really loathsome.
Not much of it has to do with health & fitness, there seems to be a majority of loud fat losers with terrible diets who laugh at doing cardio.

Would a man without any fighting expierience but with a weight of 180lb and a height of 6' be able to win a fight against ronda?
No. She could just get him in a hold and be done with it
Some yes, some no.
You; no.

Of course, any male with a bodyweight of 160lb + would be able to destroy that weak bitch.
She may have more stamina and better grappling skills but that doesent change the fact that she is a woman.

/fit/ If you eat under your maintenance calories is there really a reason to do cardio since you are burning the fat anyways?
If so what is the point of cardio?
It's good for you.
>>35955567
You lose it faster and appear more vascular.
70% of body fat is released through carbon dioxide when you exhale, hence, cardio.
>>35955567
To get fit....
Easier to lift if you can run for five minutes without puking and crying.

Is it mostly fatfuck powerlifters who need encouragement to go on in life as a fat fuck because "muh strength" or is he an inside joke who people follow just to get a kick out of?

What's /fit/'s bathroom routine?
In order:
Poop, shower, shave, teeth.
I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol...
